“Just stop the pretense, Max. How could Rosario invite a church rat like you?... Do they even know you exist?... I'm sure you stole the clothes you are wearing to help in your scamming. I knew you would be desperate for money after you left the company but to do something like this?... You are really shameless.”“As I've said, you can keep whatever notion you have in your head, I could care less about it. However, I don't plan on leaving.”“You really just won't back down, right?... Fine then, don't say we didn't warn you.” Bernard remarked before calling for security to drag him out.“You should thank your stars. We caught him before he did anything to sully Rosario's good name. Now kick him out of here before he steals something valuable.”“But sir, his invitation is legitimate. In fact…” “What legitimate?... Look, I'll tell you now. This man is a pauper masquerading as a rich man. I won't be surprised if he stole the card from its true owner.” Mirabel sneered, causing the security

Before the conference at Solo Montel, several businessmen had benefited from Rosario being public to purchase shares, and yet did nothing to ensure the company moved forward.In fact, their actions would have caused Rosario to regress due to some insane policies they'd wanted to set up if not for Brittany putting in her best to prevent that from happening.Now that Max was back, he wasn't about to let anyone benefit from his family's blood and sweat without putting in the work.Glancing at Justin, he found that the old man approved of his actions, which made it all the better.Meanwhile, Mirabel and Bernard were panicking as they understood that the first half of Max's statement was pointed in their direction.Losing their connections with Rosario would impact their family's wealth significantly, so they had to do something before it was too late.Same with Arturo, as he immediately left, knowing that he had to figure something out before nighttime tomorrow.After the initial shock, t

Naturally, Brittany was displeased by what the executives had said about Max, but couldn't act out as she wanted, after all, even though Rosario had the majority stake, they still had to respect the executives of Sterling Suites.In a bid to lighten the already tense mood, he let out a chuckle. “I'm just kidding, why so serious?”Caleb let out a tense laugh with the others joining in as well.Soon enough, Caleb led the way into the Sterling Suites with Max following closely behind while being flanked by Brittany and Jacob.The other senior executives trailed behind though none dared to fall too far behind.Just as they arrived at the VIP elevator to take them to the conference hall, Max suddenly remarked. “I'd like to see the restaurant.” “What?”“The restaurant, where is it?”“Sir, if you'd like to eat, I'd be more than happy to get the workers to bring some food to the hall. There's hardly a need for you to head there yourself.” Caleb said.“Who said anything about eating?”Before

“Is that so?... I didn't expect him to come in so fast. Fine then, where are they?”“Currently in the conference room.”“Then let's go and see them,” Max said as he got to his feet.“You go,” Brittany remarked. “I've got lectures to attend.”“Oh, alright.”“Later.” Brittany took her leave, while Meredith led Max to the conference room. There, they found Arturo and his father, Carlos, waiting on Max with bated breath.“Well, well, if it isn't the biggest stockbroker in Westbrook.” Max mocked as the Sanchez father and son duo rose to receive him.“How may I help you today?” As he spoke, he took his seat at the head of the table with Brittany coming to stand beside him.Clearing his throat, Carlos spoke up. “Mr. Augustus, firstly, I would like to congratulate you on becoming Rosario's CEO, it is truly a great position.”“Indeed, it is. I have big shoes to fill if I want to live up to my parents' legacy.”“I agree.” Carlos nodded. “Secondly, I would like to sincerely apologize for Artur

As Max was making his way out of Rosario's building, he spotted a silver Bentley parked across from where he was.Seconds later, the doors opened to reveal two familiar faces.The first person was Mirabel's niece, Belinda, and the second was Jacob Green, heir to the Green estate and Belinda’s fiancé.He had attended the dinner the Cavendish family had hosted for Bernard at their home.Aware that they wouldn't let him be if they saw him, Max tried to leave quickly but unfortunately, he was too slow as Belinda caught sight of him and yelled out his name.“Hey, Max!”Max clicked his tongue, aware that he'd messed up big time.He could only wait where he was as they approached him.“Surprise seeing you here.” Belinda intoned, feigning a friendly tone that didn't deceive Max one bit.Max managed a dry smile. “Surprise seeing you as well.” “Oh well, Jacob is here to see Meredith, vice president of Rosario and I decided to tag along.”“That's great.” Max intoned. “Mr. Green is truly talente
